Tony,

*If* there is a repeat market for this sort of design in the cement industry, I might be interested to layout a PCB for this sometime next year and place it in our industrial instrumentation case. Its aluminum, about 5.5" wide 2.5" high and 1.5" deep. I'd be biased to use the same panel we use currently and would recommend LEDs over LCDs due to superior readability and temperature operation.

I'd probably just sell the electronics package as an OEM module and let y'all program it for your customers. Of course to do it right, I'd have to design a relatively generic ADC port and display instrument so it could be used for other applications. I've got a board that does a lot of wonderful things that I'd probably use as a basis. If I rip up some circuitry and add some more, it might not take long to do.

I have no idea whether I could actually fit this into our busy schedule, but it does have some appeal. I expect to be very busy until June 2001.
